Process.
The foundation of my paintings lies in the use of plaster which allows me to build texture and depth on the canvas. Each stroke builds upon the last, creating layers of rich movement and textured surfaces that evoke the rawness of nature.
To add a touch of ethereal beauty, I apply gold leaf. The shimmering light and reflections across the composition enhance the sense of depth and mystery.
Layering acrylic paint on the plaster and gold leaf, I bring life to the subject, infusing the painting with vibrant hues, subtle gradations, and delicate nuances.
Through the marriage of Venetian plaster, acrylic paints, and gold leaf, my atmospheric landscapes take on a multi-dimensional quality that transcends the boundaries of traditional painting. Each stroke offers glimpses into a world where reality merges with imagination, inviting viewers to embark on their own visual journey.
